I'm getting filtered hard. What do I do?
>>23624139I read this book awhile back and although my memory is hazy I think I've still managed to retain some of the thoughts that came up when I did:The advent of art, culture, and human expression helped society make sense of the world we live in by representing it through signs and images. The problem is that in a postmodern society, all of these tools that were supposed to help us understand our world has become in some ways become confused with the real it is supposed to represent or give meaning to. The problem here is not that these images or signs are fake, but that they have superceded what is real. Another problem too is that these signs, in their state of hyperreality have become to detatch itself from representation. All referents that point back to reality is lost, all that remains are a series of copies without an original.
